If you read my Cadlights thread,
http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1357546
then you know I may be downgrading soon. Before I jump into this though, I wanted to make sure I didn't miss a deal that someone was getting ready to offer, then end up regretting a downgrade.
My wife wants a "furniture grade" stand and canopy. I've seen a few around that would be acceptable to her--but I'm not looking for the typical oceanic-type stand.
<B>I'm talking the "polished" looking professional finish, with maybe some crown molding, etc. Something that looks like it should be in the living room, which is where our tank is. </B> I am not good at DYI, as I'm too much of a "Non-perfectionist". My motto is, "good enough", so I don't want anything that I would have to build, mod, stain, sand, paint, etc.
I realize that to have one custom-made for the current tank will just $$$. Having one made is really not an option, unless I was going to upgrade.
Therefore, here's what I'm interested in . . .
Either someone getting rid of a 75, 90, 110 or other 48 x 18 tank and stand with a beauty of a stand AND canopy (I can always turn around and sell the tank, as I realize most people aren't selling just a stand and canopy)
OR
Possibly even a smaller tank (not a 55)--again, that has a top of the line stand and canopy
OR
I could be coerced into an small - medium upgrade if the price was right on a 6 foot tank. Again, I'm ONLY looking for a setup with a beauty of a stand and canopy.
Oh, and we are looking for a <B>darker wood finish </B>.
If I don't find something, like I said, I'll just downgrade to a 39 Cadlights. This is probably my better option anyway, as it will be less time and energy spent on a tank. Just looking to check all my options. Whew! I just wrote a book. Sorry.
